Inside the vilest neighbourhood row Australia has ever seen – as family member reveals how a minor dispute over PARKING escalated into full-blown war

EXCLUSIVE

The family at the centre of a terrifying row with neighbours have broken their silence and admitted the feud spiralled out of control after it escalated into violence at a Coles supermarket.

Daily Mail Australia last week revealed how a Hindu family in Liverpool, south-west Sydney, had faeces smeared on their letterbox and a used sanitary towel left on a religious ornament during a year-long campaign of terror.

Shania Lata, 19, and her family have since fled their apartment and moved to a new home in Minto, 20km away. In videos that have gone viral on TikTok, they claim that neighbours followed them to continue the alleged harassment.

Nawal Tawfeeq and her two adult children, Farah and Adam Abdulhussein, have now responded to the allegations, sharing new footage which allegedly shows Ms Tawfeeq being attacked with a shopping basket by her former neighbour in a local supermarket.

They revealed that the conflict began with a minor disagreement over parking at their block of flats, but quickly escalated into a series of heinous acts that has now cost one of them his job. They now admit: ‘We are both guilty.’

Ms Lata posted a series of shocking clips on TikTok and Instagram in which she accused her former neighbours of smearing human faeces in their letterbox, throwing hot water on her face and calling the police over false allegations that her father had pointed a gun at them.

In another disgusting act, Ms Lata alleges that neighbours left a dirty sanitary napkin on a religious shrine outside their door.

The Lata family, who are Hindu, allege the alleged horrific acts were motivated by religious intolerance and that they received racist and threatening messages.

However, Ms Abdulhussein, 23, insists the row is not about race or religion, but admits it has gone too far.

“This started as a standard neighbour dispute over the car park below and it just escalated,” she told Daily Mail Australia from her home in Liverpool in Sydney’s west.

“Neither family is innocent, we are both wrong.”

Ms Abdulhussein says the negative reactions to her former neighbours’ videos prompted her to hit back and tell her family’s story about the events.

“My brother had to quit his job because his workplace was shared on social media and people approached management with lies they saw on TikTok.”

She also claims that the former neighbors smeared feces in their mailbox, threw water in their faces and harassed them late into the night.

“It was a matter of spanking, but we were not responsible for the bloody sanitary towels or the mess in the mailbox,” she said.

“But we had to put up cameras to protect ourselves and to hide the accusations they were making about our family to the police and other neighbors in the building.”

Ms Abdulhussein said the fight escalated in July last year when Ms Lata’s brother, Bharat Pratap, attacked her mother, Nawal, at the Coles supermarket in Casula in Sydney’s south-west, prompting them to seek an assault order.

Footage of the attack shows Mr Pratap using a Coles shopping basket to strike Ms Tafook on the head, causing her to collapse.

“We are portrayed as the bad guys, but they are not innocent,” she said.

“We want them to leave our family alone, we are still traumatized.”

On another occasion, Mr Pratap is seen aggressively kicking in the door of his former neighbours in the middle of the night.

Police were reportedly called to the apartment complex several times by both families involved in the ugly dispute, which led to the Latas moving to Minto.

However, Miss Lata claims that the mudslinging has continued despite the fact that I have moved more than 20 km.

“He keeps driving past our house and honking. We don’t know how they got our new address and the police are doing nothing about it,” she told Daily Mail Australia.

“Why do they go to such lengths to keep fighting? We want it to stop.”
